Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order allowing students who completed their medical degrees outside their home State to participate in entrance examinations for postgraduate courses in their home State, irrespective of local admission preferences. The Court reiterated principles established in prior cases, including Dr. Parag Gupta vs. University of Delhi, emphasizing the need for equitable treatment of students who qualified under the All India quota. The Court found no conflict with earlier rulings and maintained that the criteria adopted by States should not exclude these students from pursuing further education in their home States.
